The Ace Producer

Unexpectedly, when she dreamed about it at midnight, she was really scared again.

The cell phone kept ringing by the bedside, and the time was fixed at 1:05 in the morning. In her dream, she looked at it coldly, indifferently.

The scene changed and I was back to my childhood again.

As a little girl, she was intercepted by that man from her mother's wedding. He held the steering wheel with one hand and stopped her with the other hand from trying to open the door and jump out of the car. The car rushed into the reed marsh in a snake shape, and he held her in his arms. He watched her get out of the car, her eyes were red, and she asked sadly: I am your father, don't you remember me?

Only then did she realize that her father was actually a person who often appeared on TV.

He's also someone my mother doesn't want to mention.

His world is gorgeous and dazzling, but my mother only has herself. Even getting married is to find a "competent father" for her. So when that person appeared again and again, at the corner in front of the school, in the shadows downstairs at home, on the plane when she was going abroad to compete, she instinctively chose to refuse and stay away.

Until he lay crawling and struggling in the darkness, with blood and jackdaws wailing behind him. He just crawled like that, inch by inch. He stretched out his hand, but he couldn't reach him. He opened his mouth and couldn't reach himself. The words kept coming, over and over again: Why don't you answer the phone? Why don't you save me?

Why are you doing this, watching me die? Why?

It was like an accusation, like a curse, like thousands of layers of unwillingness and regret that bound her, strangling her until she could breathe, and dragging her towards hell.

"sorry, I do not know……"

"...Ye Zhen, wake up, don't cry, it's okay, it's okay, Ye Zhen, I'm here."

Ye Zhen opened her eyes suddenly, clutching her chest and gasping for air. Her throat was hoarse and sore, as if someone had pinched her tightly, and she couldn't even retching.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Come on, have a drink of water." Someone helped her sit up and put a glass of warm water to her mouth. Ye Zhen reflexively grabbed the person's hand and slowly moved her eyes towards it. It took a while to realize that it was Rong Chengjue.

"Mint water," he said thoughtfully, "drink some, your throat won't hurt after drinking it."

Ye Zhen took the water and drank it in small sips. Seeing that her reaction was normal, Rong Chengjue breathed out and said angrily: "Did you have a nightmare because of what happened during the day? I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being too high-profile and causing this to happen to you. Unexpected, I will pay attention next time.”

Ye Zhen shook her head and said it had nothing to do with him.

Rong Chengjue just thought that she didn't want to talk to him anymore, looked at her with his shoulders slumped for a while, and suddenly said seriously: "Do you think I am a very casual and clingy person, just like those CEO articles say, inexplicable ?”

Well, can she say that it is indeed a bit?

As if he understood Ye Zhen's eyes, Rong Chengjue said angrily: "I'm not the one. I said that those things bother me the most. How could I possibly do that? It's obviously because of——"

Um? Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

"——It's because of Professor Lin's entrustment that I take such good care of you!"

"..."

Rong Chengjue continued to say seriously: "My father and your tutor, Professor Lin, are very good friends, so we can be considered senior brothers and sisters. You come to Rongcheng for exchange and study this time. Of course, senior brother must take good care of you."

"Brothers and sisters"? Ye Zhen suddenly understood what Rong Chengjue was trying so hard to hide.

Rong Chengjue's father and Professor Lin are indeed good friends. Not only this matter, Ye Zhen knew about it about six or seven years ago. The reason is that Professor Lin was entrusted by Rong Chengjue's father to take care of a non-staff student. , to help with math.

It was intoxicating to ask the world's leading mathematics professor to teach mathematics. What was even more intoxicating was that after Professor Lin found that this student could not keep up with his teaching level, he decisively left her, a poor girl who had just entered the teacher's school, to her. Take basic tutoring courses online first.

This student is Rong Chengjue.

Rong Chengjue had just returned from studying at a top university in the UK, but his mathematics was at the level of a middle school student at best.

As a master of mathematics, Ye Zhen was overqualified for tutoring him. Fortunately, this guy was very polite and kept calling him "senior sister" and "senior sister" online, which made up for the pain of Ye Zhen who always entered school early and was young - - She was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time. Although she was studying for a master's degree, no one in the entire BGI was willing to call her "sister".

Just for this "sister", Ye Zhen also taught her very carefully.

However, since she and Rong Chengjue had never met each other before, she always thought that Rong Chengjue didn't know who she was. She didn't come to Rongcheng for fame and fortune, so naturally she didn't have to rush to hug him, so she just took it as a Don’t recognize him anymore.

Unexpectedly, Rong Chengjue actually knew.

And I still hold a grudge about this educational experience.

I just don't know if he "cares" about me so much, is he grateful for his teachings, or is he trying to get back some of the advantages he has taken advantage of...

Ye Zhen looked at Rong Chengjue with a half-smile but not a smile. Rong Chengjue was very worried about what she saw. He was afraid that she would see something and felt that it was unlikely, so he asked tentatively: "Why are you laughing? Do you think I'm lying?" you?"

Ye Zhen was happy to pretend to be confused with him, so she shook her head decisively and pointed at her throat to remind him that she couldn't speak.

"Oh." Rong Chengjue felt that he had no flaws and felt relieved. He watched Ye Zhen drink the water and lie back on the bed, but his eyes kept falling on the lamp and asked, "Don't you want to turn off the light and sleep?"

Ye Zhen hesitated for a moment and nodded towards him.

"Don't be afraid," Rong Chengjue clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name, "Exterminate demons and protect the Tao. This senior brother is professional."

"puff--"

"Really, I actually went to the Shaolin Temple to learn art when I was ten years old, with the best actor Ye Yi, when he was filming "Shaoshishan"."

Ye Zhen stopped smiling and looked up at him.

Rong Chengjue just thought she didn't believe it, so he simply meditated on the spot and practiced magic: "The Buddha said that all mantras can subjugate and drive out demons. All heavenly dragons protect the Dharma and all the demons and monsters must surrender. Don't be afraid, junior sister. Senior brother will recite a passage for you. "Heart Sutra", please listen carefully:

‘Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva has been practicing the profound Prajnaparamita for a long time—’”

——Seeing that all five aggregates are empty, you can survive all hardships.

She can actually memorize it too.

Buddhism says: "When talking about all dharma, the word cause and condition cannot be used."

Mathematicians say that there are more than six billion people in the world and a person's life span is 30,000 days. The probability of two strangers meeting is 0.00487.

If you always meet someone, then you must have a conditional relationship that is not accidental but inevitable, even if you didn't know it before.

Usually, we call it fate.
